A note to readers: Out of office, for now

Dear Readers: I’ve been out of my office for several weeks, therefore, the postings have been minimal. I’m tending to matters that will keep me away from my computer for at least another week. If by chance I can post, I will do so but I’m in a lot of areas that do not have cell phone service. Or, it is spotty at best. Meanwhile, I hope everyone is enjoying late spring and the turn of summer. I was able to get online today for the first time today. I’m now sitting in the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation tribal headquarters at a council meeting here in New Town, N.D. The meeting just started, so, this is all for now folks. Thanks.
